The thing I heard most this morning? People are paying attention to how the county spends taxpayer money.
Before the NYA Stiftungsfest parade, we walked the route and talked with people along the way.
A lot of the conversations were quick. A handshake. A comment from the curb. Someone mentioning one of my recent posts.
But one topic kept coming up: how the county makes spending decisions.
People are paying attention.
Fiscal responsibility doesn’t mean saying no to everything. We need good roads, public safety and strong services. And we need to invest wisely in a growing county.
It means asking the tough questions. Making smart choices. And remembering that every dollar the county spends came from someone who worked for it.
Based on what I heard today, people want those questions asked.
What county spending or tax issue concerns you most?
And thank you to the friends and supporters who walked with me today. It meant a lot.
